Burton Joyce, United Kingdom Ed Hudson Full time

**Flexible Personal Care Assistant required for a quadraplegic client (spinal cord injury) in the Nottingham/Derby area.**

We have an opening to join an established small, tight-knit care team.

This role requires an individual who is motivated to learn a wide variety of skills and take on a broad range of responsibilities. You will need to be comfortable with:

- bearing significant responsibility in the lifestyle and management of an individual with a complex condition
- operating and maintaining medical equipment
- domestic tasks
- intimate care
- a dynamic work environment, with a small team and varying schedule
- driving
- receiving an education in the management of an individual with a complex condition
- Travel abroad

Given the nature of the role previous healthcare or nursing experience is helpful but not absolutely required.

The client's independence is focal to the care you will help provide, making for a stimulating work environment as you assist him in living a fulfilling life.

The nature of the work is varied: the client works in a professional environment and studies part-time, travels to various events in the UK and holidays abroad. Your duties day to day will be according to the shift you are working: this consists of a live in week, a live out/stand-by 7am-5pm Monday to Friday and one week off.

During your 'live in week', you have a private annex within the house which has a small kitchenette and a bathroom. You would be expected to be available throughout the day for the client but would not be expected to be called on in the night.

You will be working closely with other team members according to who is on shift
- this will give you excellent opportunity to learn from established members of the team.

On an average day, PAs will assist with all activities of daily living: dress, toilet and shower the client. Often there are rehabilitation exercises in the morning
- this may be using a standing frame, simple stretches and/or functional electrical stimulation. PAs are responsible for helping maintain the household
- changing bed sheets if needed, hoovering, etc. Where possible, a 2 hour break is given to the live in PA to leave the house
- this time is covered by the live out PA. During the afternoon
- the client is often engaged in study and can manage his own time. The live in PA will be available to help with food and drink preparation, catheter care et cetera.

The client lives with his wife, dog and four chickens.

The client is due to move house to Horsley Woodhouse in Derbyshire in the summer of 2024, and the job will move with him.
- This opportunity is ideal for someone who:

- is looking for a change of career to something more personal and fulfilling
- is interested in a truly different working experience
- enjoys small team working environments
- has good interpersonal skills
- is happy with the balance of live in work and time off
- can take initiative, is detail oriented and conscientious

Essential Criteria:

- PAs are required to drive the client’s vehicle therefore all applicants MUST have a full clean driving licence.
- You MUST be flexible and available to work either days or nights and on any day of the week.
- A DBS check will be paid for as part of your recruitment.
- A first round of interviews will be held remotely via video chat, followed by a second round in person.

Training

All successful applicants will be required to complete at least 1 paid shadow shift and complete mandatory training before beginning work. This will cover Spinal Cord Injury Education, Bowel and Bladder care and Safer People Handling.
